Amaç: Bu çalışmada, çocukların erken yaşlardaki beslenmesinin önemi göz önünde bulundurularak, annelerin ve çocukların beslenme durumları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya bir sosyal pediatri polikliniğine başvuran anne-çocuk çiftleri katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında genel bilgiler, anne sütü, tamamlayıcı beslenme ile ilgili sorular ile beslenme kayıtlarını içeren soru formu kullanılmıştır. Besin tüketimini değerlendirme yöntemi olarak 24 saatlik hatırlatma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Boy uzunluğu ve vücut ağırlığı tekniğine uygun olarak araştırmacılar tarafından alınmıştır. Veriler annelerden elde edilmiş ve çocukların antropometrik ölçümlerinin alınmasında anneler yardımcı olmuştur. Elde edilen veriler, hem çocuğun hem de annenin günlük enerji ve besin ögesi gereksinimlerini karşılama yüzdesini hesaplamak amacı ile kullanılmıştır.İlişki katsayılarını belirlemek için SPSS istatistik paket programında Pearson korelasyon testi uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya 104 anne-çocuk çifti dahil edilmiştir. Anne ve çocukların yaş ortalamaları sırasıyla 30.7±5.7 yıl ve 41.7±17.3 aydı. Annelerin %13.5’i obezken çocukların %16.3’ü obezdir. Anne ve çocukların günlük ana ve ara öğün sayıları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Anne sütü ile beslenme ve tamamlayıcı beslenme durumuna göre anne-çocuk çiftlerinin enerji ve protein gereksinimini karşılama yüzdeleri farklılık göstermemiştir. Analiz sonuçları, anne-çocuk çiftlerinin enerji ve magnezyum hariç diğer makro ve mikro besin ögesi gereksinimi karşılama yüzdeleri arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğunu göstermiştir.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, anneler ve çocuklarının beslenme durumları arasında ilişki olduğuna dair önemli bulgular sunmaktadır. Hem annelerin hem de çocukların beslenme durumlarını araştıran ve aile içinde beslenmenin birbiri ile ilişkisini vurgulayan daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal and child nutritional status, considering the importance of children’s nutrition at an early age.
Material and Methods: Mother-child pairs who attended a social pediatrics outpatient clinic participated in the study. A survey form was used to collect data, including questions regarding general information, breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and dietary records. The 24-hour dietary recall method was used as a dietary assessment method. Height and body weight were taken using measurement techniques by researchers. Data of pairs were collected from mothers, and they assisted in taking anthropometric measurements of the children. The recorded data were used to calculate the percentage of daily energy and nutrient requirements met by each participant. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to detect the coefficients of the relationship in SPSS statistic package program.
Results: The study included 104 mother-child pairs. The mean age of the mother and children was 30.7±5.7 years and 41.7±17.3 months, respectively. While 13.5% of the mothers were obese, 16.3% of the children were obese. A significant relationship was found between mothers’ and children’s daily main and snack numbers. The percentage of meeting their energy and protein requirements did not vary according to breastfeeding and complementary feeding parameters. Statistical analysis results showed significant relationships between percentages of meeting their macro and micronutrient requirements of mother-child pairs, except for energy and magnesium.
Conclusion: The study’s results indicate that there is a relationship between the nutritional status of mothers and their children. There is a need for further research investigating the nutritional status of both mothers and children and emphasizing the interdependency of nutrition within the family.
